The idea that healing simply creates a favorable condition is a good starting point, but we can aim for the peak. The acceptance rate of post-healing teachings by the crowd could have skyrocketed, not just listening, which is a more comprehensive expression of the impact. It's not just about increased credibility, but about an amplified receptivity that radically transforms the learning dynamic, pushing engagement far beyond the ordinary.

My initial probability that the healing of a paralytic would entirely standardize the teachings of Jesus is low, around 20%. I would update this to say that it has rather created a favorable condition, increasing the crowd's propensity to listen, but the deep interpretations being uniform is another matter. Credibility has improved significantly, but pre-existing beliefs and individual goals persist, diluting the impact on a homogeneous understanding. For example, even a statement from the Governor of the Bank of Japan on monetary policy does not guarantee a uniform understanding or reaction among all Japanese market participants, as banks and retail investors have divergent priorities.
